Book Description

November 1, 2002
Today's headlines are filled with horror stories about fatal dog attacks. Consequently, the public has grown increasingly alarmed over what it perceives as an ominous phenomenon, uncontrolled and growing. People across the nation have concluded that many breeds/types of dogs are dangerous, violent and even worse - unpredictable.

"Fatal Dog Attacks" was written to set the record straight. The book explores four decades of deadly assaults. The ONLY book of its kind, it presents scientific details and the latest information from major sources including the Centers for Disease Control.

"Fatal Dog Attacks" uncovers the truth about the frequency and causes of unprovoked dog attacks, who are the most likely victims, which breeds are most agressive, how people can best protect themselves, and most importantly: who is ultimately responsible for these attacks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Opening and Informative, June 23, 2005
This review is from: Fatal Dog Attacks: The Stories Behind the Statistics (United States) (Paperback)
As a professional dog trainer who works with owners of aggressive dogs on a daily basis, I found this book full of the kind of information the general public needs to educate themselves on the very serious issue of irresponsible dog ownership.

I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to get the complete picture when researching information on breeds and breed-specific legislation. This is the information the media won't give you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Book, July 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Fatal Dog Attacks: The Stories Behind the Statistics (United States) (Paperback)
As a professional dog trainer and one with a dog-related incident prevention program, I highly recommend this book. It is truly a must read regardless of whether or not you own a dog.

The book is well-researched and written in an easy to comprehend fashion - just the facts and not so long as to be overwhelming.

I cannot thank Ms Delise enough for what she has produced!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oklahoma Animal Welfare Advocate Applauds This Book!, September 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Fatal Dog Attacks: The Stories Behind the Statistics (United States) (Paperback)
Fatal Dog Attacks by Karen Delise is a well researched, in-depth study of the various factors which have led to fatal dog bites.
It is also a clarion call for compassionate and responsible care of dogs.

This brilliantly written, one of a kind book is easy to read. It should be read by animal control officers, shelter workers and volunteers, dog rescuers, dog owners and especially parents of infants and young children. There is plenty of information and food for thought in this book!
